This table allows you to quickly choose the right tone even for novice fashionistas, as well as visually see the possible result after the procedure.

To obtain the maximum effect, it is necessary to choose tinting products, the color of which is closest to the shade of the hair. In order to tint a redhead, you need to use golden tonics of a warm palette. A copper tone with a bright red tint will help smooth the red color of the hair or even out the dark shade. For gray and ash curls, silver and platinum agents should be chosen. Only to obtain the effect of burned-out curls can you use lighter tones.

Beginning fashionistas should take into account that the shade of hair after the procedure will be slightly lighter than the color stated in the table.

Toning is a simple procedure that can be carried out both in the conditions of professional beauty salons, and independently at home. For several days before tinting, it is necessary to perform a set of wellness procedures, which consists of regular application of nourishing, moisturizing and regenerating masks, as well as the use of balms and conditioners.

• applying the composition to curls starting from the back of the head;
• maintaining a certain amount of time specified by the manufacturer in the instructions;
• washing off the product with warm clean water;
• final shampooing with shampoo;

Hairdressers recommend applying oily creams to the skin of the forehead, ears and neck, which will facilitate the removal of paint from these areas.

If this procedure does not bring the desired result or you need to quickly change the color of the hair, experts recommend treating the strands with special means to remove paint or wash your hair several times with deep-cleaning shampoo.
